Add Panels

Overview

In a dashboard, each panel is an independent visualization unit with its own queries, chart type, and styling options.

The available options vary based on the selected chart type.

Add a Panel

Once you have a dashboard, the next step is to add one or more panels to it.

1. Create a new dashboard.

2. Click the Add your first panel tile or click Add panel in the dashboard toolbar.

   

3. A panel preview appears on the canvas, where you can configure the query and panel options.

   

   For details on the above, see Configure Panels.

   Note

   When you see the above, you are looking at a preview of the panel before it is instantiated. You must explicitly click the purple Add button in the top horizontal navigation bar to place the panel on the canvas.

4. Click the purple Add button to place the panel.

5. Resize and reposition the panel by dragging its edges or moving it on the canvas.

   

   Note

   Panels behave like sticky notes on a canvas. You can freely drag them to any position and resize them by pulling their edges.

6. Click Add group in the toolbar to add a group, then configure your panels to be added to it. Groups let you collapse and expand panels together to manage visual clutter. They let you link directly to a specific group by its anchor URL.
